Anatoly Moskvin is a Russian academic linguist from Nizhny Novgorod Russia. He was arrested in 2011 by police investigating a spate of grave desecrations in cemeteries in and around Nizhny Novgorod. 26 mummified bodies of young girls aged between 3 and 15 were found in his apartment. He exhumed the bodies and mummified them himself before dressing and posing them around his home which he also shared with parents who had mistaken the bodies for large dolls.Support the show

Join us this week on our strange trip into the Stoned Ape Theory. The theory, first proposed by Terence McKenna in the 1990s, suggests that the use of psychedelics played a crucial role in the evolution of early human ancestors. According to McKenna, the consumption of psychedelics, particularly psilocybin mushrooms, allowed our ancestors to develop advanced cognitive abilities, such as language and abstract thinking.

Thelema is a complicated set of magical, mystical and religious beliefs formed in the 20th century by Aleister Crowley. Thelemites might be anything from atheists to polytheists, viewing the involved beings as actual entities or primal archetypes. Today it is embraced by a variety of occult groups including the Ordo Templis Orientis (O.T.O.) and Argenteum Astrum (A.A.), the Order of the Silver Star.
Eroto-comatose lucidity is a technique of sex magic known best by its formulation by English author and occultist Aleister Crowley in 1912, but which has several variations and is used in a number of ways by different spiritual communities. A common form of the ritual uses repeated sexual stimulation (but not to physical orgasm) to place the individual in a state between full sleep and full wakefulness as well as exhaustion, allowing the practitioner to commune with their god.

This week we dive deep into revealing our shadowy overlords. You may know the names Vanguard, Blackrock, and State Street. All are global investment managers who have done a lot to champion low-cost access to investing for retail investors. Due to their scale and focus on index tracking funds, they have a stake in the great majority of listed companies, and they own a decent stake in many of those companies. As an example, Vanguard is the largest holder of Apple stock, while Blackrock and State Street are the third and fourth largest holders. If this is our last episode, someone got to us.

In the year 1988, a strange phenomenon swept across the globe, one that went unnoticed by the public but caused ripples through the fabric of reality. It was the year humanity faced an unrecorded extinction, and everything we know today is built on the echoes of that lost world. Did a universe ending event in 1988 cause reality to reboot, and struggle to fill in missing information leading to what we call Mandela effects and the worlds 1980's nostalgia as we try to get back to the reality we once knew?

Ventusky is an application that presents weather and meteorological data to allow people to monitor developments anywhere in the world. Several times in recent months the application showed a cluster of waves reaching over 80 feet in height and spanning a distance wider than the state of Texas, moving up from Antarctica and toward the coast of Africa for about 24 hours before disappearing. With the official story seeming to be a flimsy cover-up, conspiracy theorists are having a field day. Check out the story and form your own hypothesis.

Perseus was a major hero in Greek mythology and even today, his name is surely one of ancient history’s most familiar. But who, exactly, was he? He famously slayed the terrifying Gorgon Medusa, a seemingly impossible task, completed through sneaky stealth and trickery. Unlike some Greek heroes, his strength came not from physical power, but rather from the inner qualities of cunning and bravery, making him one of the more complex characters of Greek myth.
